Tunisia minister slammed over alleged book censorship
Tunisia's Culture Minister Hayat Ketata is under fire after books critical of the government were removed from the country’s international book fair.
Nowadays, the popularity of mobile SLOTXO games is very widespread, but the news of the winnings when someone withdraws.
A book about Rached el-Ghanouchi, leader of Ennahdha party and a fierce critic of President Kais Saied, has been banned from exhibition.
The organisers of the book fair also removed a book by Rabah Kheraifi about corruption in Tunisia. His book was described as "offensive" to the state.
One opposition figure, Najib Chebbi, described the move as "shocking and dangerous", calling on the culture minister to go.
He urged intellectuals to stand against this "regression".
In July, President Saied suspended parliament in a move described by the opposition as coup and a violation of the constitution.
He insisted he had acted within the constitution and vowed to "clean up" the country from corruption.
Some politicians, lawyers, journalists and MPs critical of the president have since been arrested and jailed. |
